It brought together Palma residents, local authorities, stakeholders, and security organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the activity, RSF provided educational support to Palma Secondary School, including teaching books and sports kits to enhance students\u2019 learning and participation in sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his remarks, Palma District Administrator, Mr. Jo\u00e3o Agostinho Buchili, commended the initiative and emphasized the importance of maintaining proper sanitation to help prevent diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also acknowledged RSF\u2019s continued support to the local community, alongside its efforts to contribute to the restoration of peace and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

insurgency that had destabilised the resource-rich province.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, the force has played a key role in recapturing strategic towns, including Moc\u00edmboa da Praia, and improving security, enabling thousands of displaced residents to return to their homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped
